The U.S. plant located in Spartanburg, South Carolina is the largest plant of the German carmaker, BMW. This plant in its 25th year of production has ended last year on a roll with a record output of 411,620 vehicles.

Its largest SUV to date, the X7, accounted for 52,619 units in its first year of production in this plant.
